Title: Generating nonlinear FM chirp waveforms for radar.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/894743· OSTI ID:894743

Nonlinear FM waveforms offer a radar matched filter output with inherently low range sidelobes. This yields a 1-2 dB advantage in Signal-to-Noise Ratio over the output of a Linear FM waveform with equivalent sidelobe filtering. This report presents design and implementation techniques for Nonlinear FM waveforms.
